The Official Casting The Superman Reboot Thread

[Derrick9592]

Here's my last casting sheet on. This is just something out of the box, just bare with me. I'd thought for Snyder's reboot that the cast should be somehow distinctive kinda like JJ Abrams' Star Trek. Again, just bare with me. For Superman, Armie Hammer is starting to grow on me alot lately.

 

[MadVillainy]

I dont think Rebecca Hall would really fit well with Armie Hammer but the rest seems pretty good

 

[Octoberist]

Levitt as Olson is a great idea.

It would be waste being a side character like that when Levitt can be a hero himself in a different franchise. (The Flash, maybe!)

 

[Young Superman]

Hey Derrick9592 I really like your young Clark, Lana and Pete picks.

 

[MadVillainy]

LEvitt is bad for The Flash and would be underused as Jimmy. Maybe back in his 3rd Rock for the Sun days

 

[Young Superman]

IMO if Levitt was a few years younger he'd be perfect for Peter Parker / Spider-Man.

LEvitt is bad for The Flash and would be underused as Jimmy. Maybe back in his 3rd Rock for the Sun days

Either way, he's way wrong for Jimmy.

 

[Sawyer]

Jane Lynch for Martha Kent.

Nailed it.

 

[Project862006]

^ with Alec Baldwin as Johnathan Kent

 

[Sawyer]

Just imagine a Superman raised by the likes of Sue Sylvester and Jack Donaghey.

I did another one with Gerard Butler as Zod since Sean Bean didn't seem to go over too well.

Absolutly perfect especially gerard butler

 

[Dark Knight]

Like this cast overall.....except for the Kents, Perry, Darkseid, and Zod.

Dennis Quaid and Diane Lane as the Kents, Ed Harris or Hugh Laurie as Perry, and Gerard Butler as Zod.

I would like to see Tom Hardy as Lex though.

 

[echostation]

Paul Gross for Jor El!!! Make it so

 

[ChocheTheHero]

 

[Harley2004]

Lex

John Corben

 

[Green Ghost]

Nice done!

Please, NO!
But your other choices are good...

 

[MadVillainy]

Padelecki is good, but he wouldnt fit with Beckinsale

 

[Harley2004]

Padelecki is good, but he wouldnt fit with Beckinsale

I know there is an age gap, but I just think Beckinsale would be great as Lois.

Jon Hamm would fit better with Kate Beckinsale, and would be a good choice. I just worry about his height. Jared, is certainly big enough to play Superman.

 

[Dark Knight]

Levitt as Olson is a great idea.

Yeah, JGL would own as Jimmy Olsen!

 

[Dark Knight]

I know there is an age gap, but I just think Beckinsale would be great as Lois.

Jon Hamm would fit better with Kate Beckinsale, and would be a good choice. I just worry about his height. Jared, is certainly big enough to play Superman.

Yeah, I think Hamm would work well with either Rachel Weisz, Beckinsale or Connoly

Weisz is my #1 choice for a more mature womanly Lois though as of now.

She has it all!

 

[Astrodust]

Paul Gross for Jor El!!! Make it so

Man so funny you mentioned Paul Gross cause he would of been my #1 pick for Superman had the film been made 10 years ago. WB missed out on the perfect Superman back then imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THvIct7ntKk

 

[Astrodust]

Yeah, I think Hamm would work well with either Rachel Weisz, Beckinsale or Connoly

Weisz is my #1 choice for a more mature womanly Lois though as of now.

She has it all!

Maybe as their dad.

 

[Astrodust]

I was just kidding by the way. At least Hamm has good size to him cause whoever gets the role won't have much time to train in order to look the part.

 

[SuperZer0]

Michael Sheen as General Zod, or one of his creepy associates:

[EliteF50]

I always thought Jared would make a good Superman, but he'd make an even better Tarzan. :P

Superman - Jon Hamm

Lois Lane - Courtney Cox

General Zod - Liam Neeson

Lex Luthor - Clancy Brown

Darkseid - David Palmer

And just incase they want to do something extra special...

Batman/Bruce Wayne - Jeffrey Dean Morgan
